The PD Factory Team of highly experienced canopy pilots has set out to bring high-speed precision canopy flight to the masses, in a way never before seen.
The team is comprised of Ian Bobo, Shannon Pilcher, Jay Moledzki, Jonathan Tagle, and JC Colclasure. Each pilot brings with him his own unique style of canopy piloting... Ian, who consistently defines the word 'smooth' with his seemingly effortless approaches and landings... Shannon, who can be seen with a huge smile while in flight, always makes it look so easy... Jay, who continues to literally 'go the distance', currently holding the world record at an incredible 678 ft... Jonathan, the speed demon, who seems to be on a quest for the perfect swoop... and JC Colclasure, who demonstrates his incredible talent in front of the camera as well as behind it.
Exploring all facets of canopy flight is the teams overall focus, including but not limited to high-speed CRW, high-G formation spiraling maneuvers, 4-way formation landings, and remote location object and water swooping. Combining these experiences, the team plans to storm the skydiving world for Performance Designs; redefining the importance of trust, teamwork, and sportsmanship in this exciting new discipline. The team can be seen testing their skills, refining their techniques, and pushing their limits at many of the pro-level swoop competitions around the globe this year.
The PD Factory Team is dedicated to the challenge of taking flight to a new level in some of the most visually stimulating and exciting canopy flight to date.
